(1,0 point) The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor–saving machinery and development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce. “In Europe,” said Thomas Jefferson, “the object is to make the most of their land, labor being abundant; here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant”. It was in the United States, therefore, that the great advances in 19th century agricultural machinery first came. At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plough, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on their backs; by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plough. As.

(28) early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plough and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, were not interested in it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their attention to the plough, until in 1869 James Oliver of Indiana turned out the first chilled-steel plough. 1. What is the main topic of the passage? A. The need for agricultural advances to help feed a growing population. B. The development of safer machines demanded by the labor movement. C. Machinery that contributed to the agricultural revolution. D. New Jersey as a leader in the agricultural revolution. 2. Which of the following can be inferred from what Thomas Jefferson said? A. Europe was changing more quickly than the United States. B. Europe had greater need of farm machinery than the United States did. C. The United States was finally running out of good farmland. D. There was a shortage of workers on the United States farms. 3. What point is the author making by stating that farmers could carry nearly all their tools on their backs? A. Farmers had few tools before the agricultural revolution. B. People in the United States were traditionally self-reliant. C. Life on the farm was extremely difficult. D. New tools were designed to be portable. 4. According to the passage, which of the following statements about Charles Newbold is true? A. He was James Oliver’s assistant. B. He spent his own money to promote his invention. C. He was opposed to scientific agriculture. D. He was born in Europe. 5. Why did farmer reject Newbold’s plough? A. Their horses were frightened by it. B. They preferred lighter tools. C. It was too expensive. D. They thought it would destroy the land. III. Read the following passage carefully and decide whether the statements are True or False. Write True or False on your answer sheet. (1,0 point) Some recent research into conversation between men and women has produced results which will surprise few women. Men are always interrupting women when they talk. One researcher feels that men regard female talk as a kind of conversational housework. They expect women to play a supporting role. So a man interrupts in a display of dominance or control. Men also have a much more unpleasant listening style. Whereas a woman uses gestures or says “Mm”, a man will say such things as “right” or “OK”, thus, setting the stage for an interruption. Conversation of this kind is, then, hardly meaningful communication. Male talk is often argumentative while women are more tentative, asking more questions and tending to build up their replies on what the other person has said. The research would indicate that women are better listeners than men. Yet, listening secretly to conversations between groups of women, one has the impression of several simultaneous monologues into which no man would be able to get a chance to speak. 1. According the writer, men feel that women’s conversation is only a support to their own. 2. The conversation between men and women is not meaningful communication because men do not really listen to what women are saying . 3. The research shows that males are better at listening than females. 4. Men asked more questions and build up their replies on other people’s responses. 5. The writer says that when women talk together, they seem to talk at the same time. PART D: (3,0 points) WRITING I. Choose the underlined word or phrase that needs correcting.

(1.0 pt) Reading to oneself is a modern activity which was almost unknown to the scholars of the classical and medieval worlds, while during the fifteenth century the term “reading” undoubtedly meant reading aloud. Only during the nineteenth century did silent reading become commonplace. One should be wary, however, of assuming that silent reading came about simply because reading aloud was a distraction to others. Examinations of factors related to the historical development of silent reading have revealed that it became the usual mode of reading for most adults mainly because the tasks themselves changed in character. The last century saw a steady gradual increase in literacy and thus in the number of readers. As the number of readers increased, the number of potential listeners declined and thus there was some education in the need to read aloud. As reading for the benefit of listeners grew less common, so came the flourishing of reading as a private activity in such public places as libraries, railway carriages and offices, where reading aloud would cause distraction to other readers. Towards the end of the century, there was still considerable argument over whether books should be used for information or treated respectfully and over whether the reading of materials such as newspapers was in some way mentally weakening. Indeed, this argument remains with us still in education. However, whatever its virtues, the old shared literacy culture had gone and was replaced by the printed mass media on the one hand and by books and periodicals for a specialized readership on the other. By the end of the twentieth century, students were being recommended to adopt attitudes to books and to use reading skills which were inappropriate, if not impossible, for the oral reader. The social, cultural and technological changes in the century had greatly altered what the term “reading” implied. 1. Reading aloud was more common in the medieval world because_______..

(38) A. there were few places available for private reading B. people relied on reading for entertainment C. few people could read to themselves D. silent reading had not been discovered 2. The word “commonplace” in the first paragraph mostly means “ _______”. A. most preferable B. widely used C. for everybody’s use D. attracting attention 3. The development of silent reading during the last century indicated_______. A. an increase in the number of books B. a change in the nature of reading C. a change in the status of literate people D. an increase in the average age of readers 4. Silent reading, especially in public places, flourished mainly because of_______. A. the decreasing number of listeners B. the decreasing need to read aloud C. the development of libraries D. the increase in literacy 5. It can be inferred that the emergence of the mass media and specialized reading materials was an indication of_______. A. a change in the readers’ interest B. a decline of standards of literacy C. an improvement of printing techniques D. an alteration in educationalists’ attitudes 6. The phrase “a specialized readership” in paragraph 4 mostly means “_______”. A. a limited number of readers in a particular area of knowledge B. a reading volume for particular professionals C. a status for readers specialized in mass media D. a requirement for readers in a particular area of knowledge 7. The phrase “oral reader” in the last paragraph mostly means “a person who_______” A. is good at public speaking B. practices reading to an audience C. takes part in an audition D. is interested in spoken language 8. All of the following might be the factors that affected the continuation of the old shared literacy culture EXCEPT_______. A. the printed mass media B. the diversity of reading materials C. the specialized readership D. the inappropriate reading skills 9. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage? A. Reading aloud was more common in the past than it is today. B. The change in reading habits was partly due to the social, cultural and technological changes. C. The decline of reading aloud was wholly due to its distracting effect. D.

Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more than 5000 years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago. A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colours; resin may add weight and texture. Where do these fibers come from? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that comes from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made from things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be turned into recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and reduces air and water pollution. 1.

Most people tend to postpone making an appointment in the hope that things will get better in a day or two. Yet a common cold or mild case of the flu can sometimes be discussed with a doctor over the telephone. Bed rest and a lot of liquids may be the best treatment. However, the sooner a person reports any abnormal conditions to a doctor, the sooner he or she can intervene and treat the problem. Any illness that lasts longer than a day or includes a fever should be looked at. Early treatment may impede the progress of an illness and curtail its spread to other family members. It is always best to contact a doctor. Doctors should decide whether their patients need appointments. Answers 1. When people postpone A. announce it publicly.

[1] Some people say that reading is not now as important as it was. These days we have photographs, films, radio, and television. Why read a description of something when you can glance at a photograph? Why read a novel when we can see a film? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us hourly on radio and TV? [2] Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very accurate idea of places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopaedia, for example, is always better for good illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs and drawings. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good impression of what an elephant looks like, but it tells us nothing about where elephants are found, what types there are, what their exact size and weight are, how they are useful to man and so on. [3] In the same way, a good feature film has action, movement, colour and maybe music. These are things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination and each of us imagines a story differently. [4] Television news broadcasts can certainly be interesting. But we need newspapers as well. Some important events happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a newspaper does not just report the news. It explains what has been happening. It also contains interesting articles on many subjects. Newspapers are an.

(47) important part of our lives, if we want to understand what is going on in our own community and in other parts of the world. [5] Reading is thus essential for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy a full life as human beings. Moreover, reading is a skill, and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading! The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.. 1-4. The author disagrees with FOUR of the following views. What are they? A) B) C) D) E) F) G) H) I). Reading is no longer important. The radio brings you the latest news more quickly than newspapers. A good encyclopaedia should have photographs. An encyclopaedia must have writing. Photographs of elephants are not very informative. Films are not worth seeing. When we read a novel we must use our imagination. Some important news cannot be shown on television. We don’t have to read regularly.. Answers. 1. ______ 2. ______ 3. ______ 4. ______. 5. The author likes photographs, films and television, but he 5. A. also wants to prove that reading is the best form of entertainment. B. doesn’t think that they are important. C. wants us to understand that reading has advantages that these other forms of communication lack. D. says he never likes these forms of communication. 6. In paragraph [1], three questions are asked. Who is supposed to be asking these questions? A. The author himself. 6. B. People who enjoy reading very much. C. People who think reading is not now important. D. People who think reading is a skill. 7. Paragraph [2] A. compares photographs with an encyclopaedia. 7. B. explains why photographs cannot replace writing. C. proves that photographs can be most informative. D. is about things we have never seen. 8. Paragraph [3] A. points out that a film has many advantages over reading. B. says that there is not good music in a feature film. 8. C. explains why reading a novel can still be enjoyable. D. explains why we watch a film differently. 9. Paragraph [4] A. wants to prove that television is better than newspapers. 9. B. explains why we still need newspapers. C. explains what makes television become more important. D. explains why we want to understand our life. 10. According to the author, the secret of reading is A. to make reading a habit. 10. B. not to read much. C. never to make it a habit. D. not a habit. IV. Fill in each of the blanks with ONE appropriate word. (10 marks) Everyone loves Harry Potter!

Most UFOs are actually natural or man-made objects that looked strange. 80% - 90% of UFOs are identified as one of three different things: 1. astronomical causes (for example: planets, stars, or meteors. 2. aircraft 3. balloons 10% -20% of UFOs are other causes (such as birds, clouds, mirages, seachlights etc.) 31.

Sometimes they knew about nearby people and communicated with them. They sent messages in simple ways. Early signals for communication included smoke from fires and the sounds of drums. Then people formed towns, and then cities, as safe places to live. Soon they began to develop other ways to communicate, to spread information. People began to buy and sell things to one another. Because of their business, they developed writing systems to keep records and to send messages. Life was changing for many people.

Question 4: Read the passage and choose the best answer. It is very important to have healthy teeth. Good teeth help us to chew our food. They also help us to look nice. How does a tooth go bad? The decay begins in a little crack in the enamed covering of the tooth. This happens after germs and bits of food have collected there. Then the decay slowly spreads inside the tooth. Eventually, poison goes into blood, and we may feel quite ill. How can we keep our teeth healthy?. Firstly, we ought to visit our dentist twice a year. He can fill the small holes in our teeth before they destroy the teeth. He can examine our teeth to check that they are growing in the right way. Unfortunately, many people wait until they have toothache before they see a dentist. Secondly, we should brush our teeth with a toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste at least twice a day- once after breakfast and once before we go to bed. We can also use wooden toothpicks to clean between our teeth after a meal. Thirdly, we should eat food that is good for our teeth and our body: milk, cheese, fish, brown bread, potatoes, red rice, raw vegetables and fresh fruit. Chocolate, sweets, biscuits and cakes are bad, especially when we eat them between meals. They are harmful because they stick to our teeth and cause decay. 1. Good teeth help us to ................
